I've been reading and trying about a million different ways to be able to apply a WIM file that I sysprepped. I am using imagex and I thought I read that the unattend.xml file can be read from the root of the USB.
Can anyone confirm that this is supposed to work? I have a custom WIM file so I am not talking about an autounattend.xml that can supposedly be used with the original installation media, although I suppose I could replace the install.wim file on there or whatever it is with the WIM I am using and use the autoattend? That is really a secondary question I just thought of but I'd like to know if I can get the unattend.xml to be read from the USB.
The reason for this is that I am trying to set a PC name, static IP, etc after prompting a user from it. I would like to do a search & replace in the unattend.xml rather than having to try to rename the PC after the WIM is restored and a generic name is given. This way I figure I can join the domain and whatnot with less reboots, making the process less painful.
Long story short, it isn't working.
